As you may know, here in the US the fall season brings new TV shows, both entirely new series and the revival of old series from the depths of rerun hell. Here is a schedule of what things are looking like this year.
So, what storylines are you looking forward to getting back to? What new shows are you anticipating? What’s gonna be good?
Personally, there’s not a new show on the roster that I am really enthusiastic about, except possibly Firefly. I’m actively dreading Greetings From Tucson. And I’m psyched about seeing Angel, Buffy, West Wing and The Gilmore Girls return.
I can’t wait for Buffy, Angel, Bernie Mac, The Simpsons, and Scrubs. Except why do they have to mess up my Sunday night viewing schedule by moving Angel? Someone really wants that show cancelled. I want to know what he’s been doing in the box. I’m also eager to get back to ER now that Dr. Green’s finally gone. That plotline was so beat by the end of the season. Firefly’s also the only thing I’ll be making an effort to watch. I can see myself checking out Fastlane (don’t laugh) for the simple cheese factor. I’ll also give The Twilight Zone a shot; why not?
Firefly, Haunted, The Twilight Zone, Birds of Prey, Hack, Dinotopia, Push Nevada, CSI: Miami, and Without a Trace are all shows I will want to see at least once.
I am looking forward in particular to the return of Buffy, Angel, Alias, and The Practice. There are several other returning shows that I expect to continue watching.
I have concluded that I watch way too much TV, and that I have got to get at least one new VCR.
I’m pumped about not watching “24” again this season. I think I’ll give Firefly a shot, it could be decent. My stand-byes are going to be West Wing, Smallville, Enterprise, and Survivor. I’ll give Survivor 6 weeks, then it gets the axe if it’s too pitiful.
I’m interested in seeing whether 24 will be good again, or collapse under the weight of its concept. It was pretty close to the edge at some points last year (amnesia???), so I don’t have high hopes.
